The Food and Drug Administration has issued a warning that Tylenol, also known as acetaminophen, can cause rare but serious skin reactions.

The FDA will now require a warning on bottles of the over-the-counter medication.

The agency says it can cause a rash and blisters.

In the worst case it may lead to widespread damage to the surface of the skin.
